The padding so constituted is fitted on resulted from such defective padding. the part to be covered by engaging the latter The object of my invention is to provide in the central'space or gutter of the padding a novel cushioning or adding material dcand closing the flaps 6, then threading a signed to do away with the above stated wire or thread through the eyelets 8 and obectionable features and which, while apthrough holes previously pierced through phcable to paddin in general, is essentially the part to be padided, so as to register therecharacterized by tfe fact that it consists of with.

Such padding is furthermore insulating and far more comfortable than the present horsehair paddings and offers also, as compared with these, the important advantage of a much inferior cost-price. Obviously, applications of the filling material covered by my invention are numerous, since such material can be used not only in constructing the hereinbefore described paddings but also in making resilient "pads, cushions, etc.

Having now particularly ascertained and described the nature of my said invention as well as the manner in which the same is to be 1performed, I declare that What I claim is: esilient cushion padding, comprising a filling, a wrapper enclosing the same, said wrapper and its filling being shaped to form a member of troughor U-section, the opposite arms of which are provided at their inner ends with stitching and at their'frec outer edges with flaps; and a flexible outer envelope enclosing said wrapper and having its edges folded over said flaps.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
